Coach Eric MacKinnon- Our Boys Varsity Basketball Coach is heading to his alma mater- Oliver Ames- to take over their program. MacKinnon has been at the helm for two successful seasons and will be missed. 

Coach Joel Chamberlain- our Varsity Girls Tennis coach is stepping down to spend more time with his young, growing family. Chamberlain has been the steward of our Girls Tennis program for the past eight years.  A former Bulldog tennis player himself, Chamberlain brought great care, fun and a team-first mentality with him to the program. He will be missed!
